A note from Billy and Jacqui- “ First and foremost we are individuals who have been through our own “demons”, struggles, “unfair” life circumstances, and personal inflictions. We are people who have made the wrong choices, used unhealthy ways of coping through hurts, and have experiences MANY life transitions- wanted or not.
We are also persons who have learned MANY lessons, put into practice healthy ways to maneuver through trials, chosen to live life with accountability, and ways to become more fluid with what “life throws at us”. We are a couple whom utilizes all we have experienced prior to be more productive and present, for what we want now and for our futures. And are more equipped and ready for REAL life struggles that come our way.
We have a deep compassion for others in pain. A yearning to always keep learning. A passion for experiencing new things and embracing the Everyday “mundane” – that makes life “Life”. We desire to create a space to help others to discover how to live their most fulfilled and authentic selves, in their own journeys. “
